XML and integration methodologies
Jadu XForms Professional uses XML to pass information between systems through its Integration Adapter.
The Integration Adapter includes an XML Schema that can be changed to meet the needs of the system with which you are integrating. The adapter will mould itself around the XML Schema, allowing Administrators to then create mappings between a particular question/answer of a form, and its corresponding position/element within the Schema.
Once the Integration Adapter is configured to a particular Schema, Jadu is then able to generate XML complying with that Schema, which provides a representation of a particular customer's form submission. The XML is then transferred to another system via an integration methodology. Jadu XForms Professional's Integration Adapter can utilise a number of integration methodologies, including:
- SOAP (for which a WSDL is provided)
- XML File Transfer ((S)FTP between systems)
- HTTP POST
- Local Custom Scripting (for which an API is provided)
